Maybe this will cheer me up when I watch it on Hulu tomorrow. Because I need that.

Am getting reports that my Chicago Med faves get to do one of my favorite romance tropes tonight: when one party is sick or at risk and the other partyβ€”who hasn’t confessed feelings/is emotionally constipatedβ€”loses their entire shit.

One was a rural village schoolteacher in East Bengal and the other was a doctor in the British Indian army and eventually private practice/hospital doctor in West Bengal.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Update: American Marines were among the security personnel who opened fire on protesters by the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday, where 10 people were killed.

Re-release of Moby Dick with no additional information than that it contains the "There Is Only One Bed" and "Accidental Marriage".

Yes. Because that’d be a pretty subpar sex toy if it only goes for five or six beats.

My upstairs neighbor keeps her phone on vibrate. How do I know this? Because I can hear the vibrations multiple times a day. I don’t know what surface she’s resting it on, but it comes through clearly and annoyingly.

I have to do a Buffy rewatch at some point. It’s been a really long time and I would probably recognize a lot more actors now.

My favorite part of watching older TV shows, particularly procedurals, is recognizing the guest stars from whatever else they’ve been in. Soap stars are my strength but I’m pretty good in general as well.

Five months in and still looking for work. Game writing would be great, but I've also got 30 years software QA management experience with waterfall and agile.

So, if you need someone who can write with a strong tech background and can work with teams across multiple continents, I might be your guy.

It’s almost 2PM. Today is just as crap as yesterday and the depression is depressioning. This is not an invitation for randos to drop in with platitudes or advice I didn’t ask for but it’ll probably land on the Discover feed anyway.

It’s perfectly fine to say that she’s a standard contemporary romance writer using standard and straightforward prose, I swear. And also perfectly fine to not show me people being ridiculous when I’m trying to avoid it. lolsob.

I am trying to block out the memory of the posts but the gist was that RR does SO much with so little and people critical of her don’t understand. Everything’s understated and requires you to look deeper just like Hemingway, etc. Grass needs to be touched. If she’s Hemingway, I’m Shakespeare
